gnuplot: build failure with lua 5.3

[rbsrg@…]

Hello, i have installed x 11, xcode, xcode command line tools and macport taken the steps needed to succesfully install gnuplot, but the install process terminates every time with

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers gnuplot), if any.

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

The problem seems to have been introduced by the upgrade to lua @5.3.1. This installation succeeds:

$ sudo port -vs install gnuplot -luaterm

[mndavidoff (Monte Davidoff)]

Cc Me!

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

In that case we probably need a new lua52 port until upstream adapts.

[rbsrg@…]

The problem has been solved and the installation of gnuplot was successful. Thanks a lot.

For a similar issue with wireshark and lua, see #48835.

Sorry for the duplication, I didn't mean to. I red Ticket #48826 and had already tried everything I could find here yesterday before creating a new ticket today. It seems that the problem of Ticket #48826 has been solved, but it still doesn't work for me, could you please explain a little more, what should I do now to make gnuplot compiled correctly ? Thank you in advance for your help.

He likely built it without lua, as suggested in comment:2, as the problem remains for everyone else.

This ticket wasn't marked as fixed by the maintainers (you can see that in the header which still shows "new defect" instead of "closed fixed"). It is therefore preferable to keep all discussion in one place. In this case, only a workaround (installing without support for lua) was proposed in comment:2.

Sorry for trouble you again, but I had already tried the solution in comment:2 for severals times and this is what I got:

sudo port -vs install gnuplot -luaterm

Error: Requested variants "+aquaterm+pangocairo+wxwidgets+x11" do not match original selection "+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+wxwidgets+x11".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean gnuplot' or specify the force option (-f).
To report a bug, follow the instructions in the guide:
    http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets
Error: Processing of port gnuplot failed

And I had already done the clean thing before that.

I guess I will keep trying and keep you informed if it works. Thanks again.

[si.chen@…]

Finally I figured out for my case : the use of "port clean gnuplot" was not enough before a new installation without luaterm (as suggested in comment:2).

I got the idea to uninstall completely gnuplot before a second try :

$ sudo port uninstall gnuplot 

and then

$ sudo port -vs install gnuplot -luaterm

and I got gnuplot compiled successfully on my Mac. It took me a while but I'm happy it works now.

Thanks agains for all your help.
